Biden is building on previous initiatives to limit health care costs, with the Department of Health and Human Services releasing new estimates showing 18.7 million older adults and other Medicare beneficiaries will save an estimated $400 per year in prescription drug costs in 2025 because of the president placing a cap on out-of-pocket spending as part of last year's Inflation Reduction Act. Republican lawmakers have criticized Biden's policies by saying they have spurred higher prices that hurt the well-being of families.

Dynamische energiecontracten worden in ons land steeds populairder. Sinds het begin van dit jaar is het aantal huishoudens met zo'n contract ruim verdriedubbeld.
Het treinverkeer in een groot deel van Nederland is woensdagochtend stilgelegd vanwege storm Poly. Reizigers die daardoor halverwege stranden, veel later aankomen of niet op hun bestemming kunnen komen, komen bij NS in aanmerking voor een vergoeding. Maar Arriva beroept zich op overmacht.
Poly raast woensdag over Nederland. Met deze vier apps houd je in de gaten waar de storm het hevigst woedt en hoe laat hij zijn hoogtepunt bereikt.
Mensen die wachten op pakketjes of boodschappen zullen moeten wachten tot storm Poly gaat liggen. Ook post- en flitsbezorgers blijven zoveel mogelijk thuis nu het noodweer over Nederland raast.
Veiligheidsregio Amsterdam-Amstelland heeft in allerijl een liveblog opgezet om mensen op de hoogte te houden van zomerstorm Poly. Ontvangers van een NL-Alert wordt geadviseerd updates te bekijken op het Twitter-account van Brandweer Amsterdam-Amstelland. Maar die zijn niet voor iedereen zichtbaar.
Meer dan een kwart van de werkenden is in het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar uitgevallen door stress of burn-outklachten. De stijging van het verzuim is vooral zichtbaar in de leeftijdsgroep 25 tot 45 jaar.
